I'm trying to expand on the concept here
http://blog.tsclausing.com/post/20 and get a more sophisticated
representation of the data. When I try to set my GroupingCollection
as the DataProvider for a TabBar, I get this error:
Error: ERROR: The dataProvider of 'monthSelector' must not contain
objects of type flash.display.DisplayObject.

I can understand that maybe a GroupingCollection wasn't meant to be
used as a dataProvider for a TabBar, but why does Flex think it has
UIComponents in it?
Thanks;
